AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary (K082258) describes the Crosstex® Surgical Masks. The document does not describe an AI/ML device, and therefore the standard questions about acceptance criteria, study design, and ground truth for such a device are not applicable.

The submission is for surgical masks and primarily relies on non-clinical performance testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Here's the information as it relates to the provided document:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Fluid Resistance (Liquid (Water) Resistance Test/Impact Penetration Test)Not explicitly stated, implied to meet requirements of "relevant test standards""Performance Testing met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned test standards."
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)Not explicitly stated, implied to meet requirements of "relevant test standards""Performance Testing met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned test standards."
Differential Pressure (△P)Not explicitly stated, implied to meet requirements of "relevant test standards""Performance Testing met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned test standards."
Flammability TestingNot explicitly stated, implied to meet requirements of "relevant test standards""Performance Testing met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned test standards."
Latex Particle Challenge TestNot explicitly stated, implied to meet requirements of "relevant test standards""Performance Testing met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned test standards."
Biocompatibility Testing (Per ISO 10993)Not explicitly stated, implied to meet requirements of "relevant test standards""Performance Testing met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned test standards."

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not provided in the 510(k) summary. The document mentions "Performance Testing" but does not detail the specific sample sizes used for each test or the provenance of the test data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This is not applicable as the device is not an AI/ML diagnostic tool that requires expert-established ground truth from a test set. The evaluation is based on objective physical and biological performance tests.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This is not applicable as there is no mention of human adjudication in the context of establishing ground truth for a test set.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This is not applicable as the device is not an AI/ML system and therefore no MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This is not applicable as the device is not an AI/ML algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" in this context is the results of standardized laboratory performance tests (e.g., BFE, fluid resistance, flammability) against established benchmarks or predicate device performance. It's not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the way an AI diagnostic tool would be.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable as there is no AI/ML model that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This is not applicable as there is no AI/ML model that requires a training set.

§ 878.4040 Surgical apparel.

(a)
Identification. Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must:
(A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and
